[SHOWOFF] What Are You Working On

[tehrob]

I personally, wish you will get SharpNoggit to work, cause no one else is interested in fixing Noggit3...

[Valkryst]

Wrote up a simple script to prevent players from leaving a testing area. There are a number of NPCs spawned around the exits of the area which, when a player gets close enough, will teleport the player to a pseudo-random position within the zone.

The script still needs a bit of work, but it works perfectly fine.

Code: [Select]

local npcId = 80007
local UNIT_STAND_STATE_SLEEP = 3
local UNIT_STAND_STATE_KNEEL = 8

local function OnMoveInLOS(event, creature, unit)
math.randomseed(os.time())
local val = math.random(1, 7)

local player = unit

if(val == 1) then -- Crusader Camp along the Southern Road
player:Teleport(0, 1096.68, -1295.55, 61.3, 2.8)
player:SetStandState(UNIT_STAND_STATE_SLEEP)
elseif(val == 2) then -- Anchors Hilt Camp
player:Teleport(0, 1148.8, -2048.57, 65, 3.6)
player:SetStandState(UNIT_STAND_STATE_SLEEP)
elseif(val == 3) then -- Hearthglen Gates
player:Teleport(0, 2700.74, -1645.38, 132.98, 2.126)
player:SetStandState(UNIT_STAND_STATE_SLEEP)
elseif(val == 4) then -- Halsingar Chapel
player:Teleport(0, 1865.85, -1312.4, 62.95, 0.838)
player:SetStandState(UNIT_STAND_STATE_SLEEP)
elseif(val == 5) then -- Farm
player:Teleport(0, 2558.0, -1811.38, 34.32, 2.12)
player:SetStandState(UNIT_STAND_STATE_SLEEP)
elseif(val == 6) then -- Pramus P0int
player:Teleport(0, 1811.87, -2467.54, 73.15, 5.23)
player:SetStandState(UNIT_STAND_STATE_SLEEP)
elseif(val == 7) -- Emberstone Chapel
player:Teleport(0, 1258.574951, -2398.602295, 61.590820, 6.095099)
player:SetStandState(UNIT_STAND_STATE_KNEEL)
end
end

RegisterCreatureEvent(npcId, 27, OnMoveInLOS)

After doing that I messed around with Lock.dbc and a few other things to create a rough room/building purchasing system. It's worked pretty well so-far, but it's nothing fancy or complicated.

Just a question. Why are you not using SmartAI for such matters? Core scripts are better, cleaner, easier?

[stoneharry]

Invisible npc's is really not the most efficient means. Instead use an area trigger. If you don't have access to this because you are not using client edits, check what zone the player is in, if the zone is your zone you do not want them in, teleport them out.

[Kaev]

I personally, wish you will get SharpNoggit to work, cause no one else is interested in fixing Noggit3...

I can fully understand why. Noggit has some bugs, but it works. They already figured the most important things out and now the project is getting boring, because nearly everything they have to do is to recode old parts to fix some bugs. And that's often VERY boring.
But don't say no one is interested in fixing Noggit3, they're still working on it. Slowly, but they're working on it.

[Valkryst]

Just a question. Why are you not using SmartAI for such matters? Core scripts are better, cleaner, easier?

I'm mainly doing it to practice with Lua and I'm not entirely sure how I'd go about doing the pseudo-random teleportation using SAI.

Huh, interesting idea. I guess I could do that and then add in a check to see whether or not the player is in GM mode. If the player isn't in GM mode, then teleport them to one of the pseudo-random areas in the zone.

I could even combine it with the script that I've written which uses the dummy units as there are certain spots within a zone that don't have their own area ID. ^.^ Although this could be done with the triggers, but it's probably a bit quicker to have area triggers for the large restricted areas and then use the dummy units for the smaller places that will often change from restricted to non restricted during development.  

----------------------------------------------------------

I just typed this up, but it should work...

Code: [Select]

local triggerIDs = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5} -- Example Area Trigger IDs from AreaTrigger.dbc

function OnAreaTrigger(event, player, triggerId)
-- Iterate through triggerIDs to see if trigger matches an accepted trigger.
for i = 0, #triggerIDs do
if(triggerIDs[i] == triggerId) then
if(player:IsGM() == false) then
math.randomseed(os.time())
local val = math.random(1, 7)

if(val == 1) then -- Crusader Camp along the Southern Road
player:Teleport(0, 1096.68, -1295.55, 61.3, 2.8)
player:SetStandState(UNIT_STAND_STATE_SLEEP)
elseif(val == 2) then -- Anchors Hilt Camp
player:Teleport(0, 1148.8, -2048.57, 65, 3.6)
player:SetStandState(UNIT_STAND_STATE_SLEEP)
elseif(val == 3) then -- Hearthglen Gates
player:Teleport(0, 2700.74, -1645.38, 132.98, 2.126)
player:SetStandState(UNIT_STAND_STATE_SLEEP)
elseif(val == 4) then -- Halsingar Chapel
player:Teleport(0, 1865.85, -1312.4, 62.95, 0.838)
player:SetStandState(UNIT_STAND_STATE_SLEEP)
elseif(val == 5) then -- Farm
player:Teleport(0, 2558.0, -1811.38, 34.32, 2.12)
player:SetStandState(UNIT_STAND_STATE_SLEEP)
elseif(val == 6) then -- Pramus P0int
player:Teleport(0, 1811.87, -2467.54, 73.15, 5.23)
player:SetStandState(UNIT_STAND_STATE_SLEEP)
elseif(val == 7) -- Emberstone Chapel
player:Teleport(0, 1258.574951, -2398.602295, 61.590820, 6.095099)
player:SetStandState(UNIT_STAND_STATE_KNEEL)
end
end
end
end
end

RegisterServerEvent(24, OnAreaTrigger)

Ouh, I could even add in some options to teleport to different locations depending on the trigger...  

[Amaroth]

Randomness? Well, I would try to create teleport actions triggered by time. In 1st second it teleports to zone X, in 2nd second to zone Y... yep, its not perfect, but it would probably work. But if you want to just practice, its your decision. I just know a few guys who tend to do everything, even spell stats, via core and then they are really "surprised" that their core is one huge mess, suddenly erroring on some little glitch.

Oh, I'd never try everything through core. Most of what I do is done through SAI, but the few tougher things are done through Lua or a core mod. The only core mod I do have is going to be removed and replaced with Lua soon though.

Thanks for the idea though. I might give it a try at some point.

Messing around with the new blood elf textures on the old models.



Edit:

Female is kinda eh.



Just the face UV's are so plain it's annoying.

Looks creepy.

I make this with the textures, with the human Female model and modify the breast of NightElf -using some photo filter and Hue/saturation-



The difference:



Dat ass  :lol:



Somebody have the models of BEs files of WOD? -to work ... -

[phantomx]

@Clockworkapple23 Yeah they are a bit creepy I really hate working with old UV's.

Also as far as I'm aware of from looking through the files and getting on the PTR the blood elf models aren't out yet.

[Ohai]

Satyr housing, this is the belf smallhouse changed for satyr race. First model ever so but I like it so it doesnt matter if you dont lol  :cry:     8-)

[Valkryst]

I've been working on a new guild registration system for the last two days after finding the default system to be a bit too different from how I'd like it to work. This is pretty-much only useful on an RP server, but it's been fun to work on so-far.

It's already in an working state, but it does need tweaks here and there. The last part that I'm writing up right now is a button that will call a stored procedure to create the guild. After that I might try making a menu for anyone with the GM flag on to review the applications through instead of needing to view the database.

There are a few ways for the menus to show up and that, but the basic system is that the user enters a guild name, description, and then pays an arbitrary fee to submit the guild application. After this, a GM will go into the database and check out the name/description and see if it meets the server standards. If it doesn't meet the standards then a flag is set and a rejection message is selected from a pre-written set of rejection messages. If the application is accepted, then the player clicks a button to have the guild created.

When it's all done and prettified, I'll probably release it on the major sites along with a guide on how to use it properly.

Bad news: I dropped the Noggit port.

Good news: Cromon started to develope a new map editor and i'm helping him.
He's working on the UI stuff atm and will start to do the rendering part soon.
I just finished the NPC classes and started the MySQL stuff to allow database things like NPC spawning via the editor.
I would love to hear which features you would like to have in the editor.

The editor is written in C#.Net (.NET Framework 4.5.3 Preview atm) and you can find the GIT repository here:  https://gitlab.cromon.ch/Cromon/woweditor

In my opinion, these are good news for the whole WoW modding scene.

Indeed it's a good news ! Is it based on sharpwow ?  

[Kaev]

Nope, written from scratch.
